8/29/09: Everett

Took a journey up to Everett to skate the somewhat new park for the first time.  It was super fun and we ended up staying there for about 5 hours!  The crew consisted of myself (Matt),

Jake,

Eric,

Josh,

and Dave.

Doubles.  This almost went down (see video).

This definitely did go down more than once (see video).

Dave and Josh comparing boards.

Eric and Jake watch Josh's trick and Dave congratulates Josh with a new type of high five.

Jake got a trick too, you'll just have to convince him to put a filmer part in the video if you want to see it.

Popsicles.

Baby Caydence and Papa.

A few favorites

Still Life was one of the first skate videos I saw, so I have a soft spot in my heart for it. It's still sick to this day if you ask me.


Another of my first videos, Think's Damage.


Van lives on.

Stolen pt. 3: Ethan Fitzpatrick and Alex Heskett

Again, from Josh Anderson's blog

A fun little video featuring Ethan Fitzpatrick and others. Enjoy.

8/23/09: Mercer Island and Issaquah

Mercer and Issaquah with Dave, Eric, Jake and Josh.  Such a good funday!  

Started the day out right with some slappies.

This kid claimed nobody could do backside overcrooks.  Eric proved him wrong by doing one on the ledge, hence the child's look of amazement.

8/15/09: Tacoma

Funday in Tacoma with Josh, Jake, Eric, Calvin, Dave and Zeb.  

This shirt defines Calvin very well.

Back smith.

Ended the night right with a bbq and miniramp session.

Memories

Found an old mix of mine, probably dating back to the late 90s.  Most of it was pretty bad, but there were some Grandaddy and Doves songs on it that I still like.  Maybe you'll like them too...

8/8/09: Seattle

Finally got my camera back, allowing me to document sessions again. Everyone skated Seattle on saturday.  Here's what happened:

The crew included:

Eric (note Calvin's well executed switch heel in the background)

Calvin

Dave

Zeb

Jake

Josh

Lots of tricks went down on this flat gap.  Josh was throwing around switch backside flips.

Pretty sure he's saying "Think some sick shit."

"I'm gonna throw this at Jake and you take a picture."  Jake was not pleased.

"Did it look like I popped?"  No, Eric, sorry.

The broom was a necessity at this spot.

Zeb was the only one who even tried skating this thing.  He and Eric found a piece of angle iron that was probably 20 feet long and propped it up there.  It's held down by two big rocks on each end, as is the ramp up to it.  Don't forget the rebar sticking out of the top too.  Translation: sketchy. 

Eric and Dave were hyped, I think Calvin was perplexed.

We then went to this school and skated some grass hills.

Eric got epic, as usual.

Dave got hyped, as usual.

Jake filmed it all, as usual.

Afterwards, we had some beers and watched the footy, as usual.

Greg and Justin came and smiled, as usual.
